The Antenna LNB skew angle must be adjusted to optimize
channel reception. Refer to your satellite service provider for the
proper skew angle for the selected satellite service and
geographical location. The skew angle for KVH predefined
satellites can also be obtained by using a PC connected to the
maintenance port. Enter your latitude and longitude using the
GPS command (refer to
SKEWANGLE. The system will respond with the skew angle for
whichever satellite is currently selected.

To complete the TracVision C3 installation, it will be necessary to
verify that the system functions properly. Critical to ensuring that
the system is configured and operating properly is to check the
system startup routine to ensure that the system is operating
within normal parameters.
To do so, it is necessary to connect a PC to the terminal
maintenance port. The diagnostics procedure requires terminal
emulation software such as PROCOMM or Windows Terminal or
Hyperterminal. Use the settings appropriate to your application.
